BASIS OF PRESENTATION BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Management of Booking Holdings Inc. (the "Company") is responsible for the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements included in this document, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and include all normal and recurring adjustments that management of the Company considers necessary for a fair presentation of its financial position and operating results. The Company prepared the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements following the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission for interim reporting. As permitted under those rules, the Company condensed or omitted certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. These Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in combination with the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities can vary during each quarter of the year. Therefore, the results and trends in these interim financial statements may not be the same as those for any subsequent quarter or the full year.

Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued an accounting standards update ("ASU") to modernize the accounting for software costs accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 350-40, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software. The update is effective for annual and interim financial statements beginning with the fiscal year 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update to its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
In July 2025, the FASB issued an ASU to simplify the application of the current expected credit loss model for current accounts receivable and current contract assets under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The update is effective for annual and interim financial statements beginning with the fiscal year 2026. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the update to its Consolidated Financial Statements.
